I broke the bank and got a good lap desk, which I’m thinking will work as an excellent easel when the weather is better and I want to go outside to paint and to sketch. For now, it makes a good base for writing with my laptop. I’m hoping to do some more painting too, we’ll see how it goes, my goal is to get back to the 4 hours a day in the afternoon work schedule for painting. It’s been two months (8 weeks) since my surgery and things are looking up. I still feel pain, but at least it’s not the ring of fire anymore. A Song sparrow is signing its heart out outside. (I know this because I have an app that allows me to identify birds by their song.) I’m thankful for the small things in my life right now: the sight of my snoring dog Ophelia, the sound of rain outside, my cozy little home, I hope to be able to start reading again because that was a pleasure I missed out on when I was in too much paint to concentrate. Things are getting better, I’m looking forward to when I can get out there and participate with other people in group activities like life drawing and my sketch group.
Astrology Notes: The Moon shifts from the ambitiously practical realm of Capricorn to the more forward thinking realm of Aquarius. This morning is all about leveling up, about challenging ourselves. So take that one determined step out of your comfort zone. By this evening you’ll find like minded people who will enjoy your company, and you can relax and just be yourself. Mercury in contemplative Taurus aligns with Uranus in the same sign in a conjunction, this opens the door for new innovative practical hacks. If something doesn’t work, give yourself some time to puzzle it out. Extra points granted for patience and determination.
Art: Girl with the Purple hair. She strikes me as an Aquarius. Not afraid to be her authentic self,
